Thanks for the defense Dajita.. Shorinryu is definately jumping the gun. I work in Fruitland, Id across the snake from Ontario, OR. They have a good Judo school here but it is not what I seek. I will take Judo for the sake for close-quarters combat, but I need to meter out what is most important to me. I am primarily more interested in advancing in my Kenpo skills. I apreciate the help and advise, Thank You
